side to Hawkeye's character ....

young women who suffer from this problem are considered to suffer from a
psychiatric disorder. While the causes are debatable, one thing that is clear is

What is extremely alarming is that the current thin ideal for women in
Western society, which is unattainable for all but a very small percentage of the
